How do you add spaces in concatenation?

<?php

$firstName = "Mike"; $middleName = "the"; $lastName = "Frog"; <?php

$firstName = "Mike"; $middleName = "the"; $lastName = "Frog"; $fullName = $firstName ."". $middleName ."". $lastName;

echo "The designer at Shirts 4 Mike shirts is named ____";

?>

Hi there Louis, you can add spaces in concatenation by using the following code:

. " " .

Notice that there is a space between the two double quotations.

So to concatenate the three variables in your example you would do:

$firstName ." ". $middleName ." ". $lastName;
